This next game looks promising for Toledo, who are favored by a full 11.5 points. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (15-6), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Toledo's victory brought them up to 22-6 while Miami (Ohio)'s loss pulled them down to 12-16. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Rockets are stumbling into the matchup with the 44th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.2 on average.
